Trump reiterates: Video was 'locker room talk'

Donald Trump said during Sunday's debate that he’s “embarrassed” by the behavior towards women recorded in a leaked video this week — but insisted it was “locker room talk” and he will make America “great again and safe again.”

After moderator Anderson Cooper pressed Trump on whether he was “modeling positive and appropriate behavior for youth,” Trump said, “I don’t think you understood what was said.”

“This was locker room talk. I am not proud of it. I apologized to my family and the American people,” Trump said. He gave a winding response to Cooper’s question, saying that there is “carnage all over the world” and it’s “like medieval times."

“I am embarrassed by it and I hate it, but it's locker room talk and one of those things. I will knock the hell out of ISIS. We are anything to defeat ISIS,” Trump said.

“For the record, are you saying that what you said on the bus 11 years ago, that you did not kiss women without consent or grope women?” Cooper said.

“Nobody has more respect for women than I do,” Trump replied.

Asked for a response, Hillary Clinton said that Trump’s comments in the video were part of a pattern.

“What we all saw and heard on Friday was Donald talking about women, what he thinks about women, what he does to women, and he has said that the video didn't represent who he is. But I think it's clear to anyone who heard it, that it represents exactly who he is,” Clinton said. “We have seen this throughout the campaign.”
